As we approach spring here in Korea, I wanted to share a beautiful proposal photo shoot in the canola fields of Jeju Island along with some additional information about what to expect at this time of year. It’s a beautiful time to visit and, of course, a wonderful time for a proposal! Springtime on Jeju Island is a very popular time for the locals as well as international tourists. It is the first place in Korea to begin changing back […]
That magical week of the year when we see the cherry blossoms in bloom is a popular one here in Korea. Elroy was one of the super lucky people this year who timed his session absolutely perfectly! With a bed of rapeseed flowers and a canopy of fully-bloomed cherry blossoms, this proposal really could not have gone better! We had been discussing this for quite some time and locked in a date that would work for Elroy and Jean to […]
This one was a long time coming. Jeff and I had been in touch for several months leading up to this big moment. This was great because it gave us time to discuss several options and allow me to recce them in the leadup. Eventually, we settled on Seopjikoji for the beautiful view of the ocean and Seongsan Sunrise Peak and planned out the day. As with all my proposal sessions, I sent Jeff a detailed guide with photos and […]
This post is about a beautiful proposal from Jeju Island over this past summer. Lai Sheng had reached out and let me know of his intention to propose to Brenda and wanted to discuss my coming down to capture all the moments for them. He had a plan in mind and wanted to ensure that everything would go off without a hitch. In all honesty, a few things had me worried about Lai Sheng’s plan to propose. Without a doubt, […]
We stood there, atop the small peak of Songaksan waiting for Joel and Nico to arrive. Everything was set and we were just trying to stop it from blowing away. There was a typhoon passing and the winds were almost knocking us over on this little peak. It was certainly worth it, though, as you will see. Joel had reached out a couple of months prior and we’d booked a date in September for his proposal on Jeju Island. During […]
Today’s blog is a story of planning, hope, and rolling with the punches. Way back in December of 2021, I got an email from Christine asking for a late-April pre-wedding shoot on Jeju Island. Korea had finally begun implementing its “travel bubble” with Singapore and quarantine would not be an issue any longer. We scheduled a call to chat about the shoot and make sure we were all on the same page. April is one of the nicest months of […]
Three days. Seventy-eight-thousand steps over almost fifty kilometres. Nine-thousand images. That can only mean one thing – Zebra’s APAC Sales Kick-Off was back in town. This year, the event was held on Jeju Island at the Landing Convention Center. It’s always a huge event and certainly keeps me busy as the sole photographer for the three-day conference. The event is not your average seated event with a few speakers. That simply wouldn’t do. This is an event to get […]
How often is it that your good friends visit from abroad, invite you to one of the most beautiful parts of Korea, and ask you to make family photos for them while you’re there? Honestly, I wish it was more often! The Orths and I headed down to Jeju Island together in what would turn out to be one of the windiest times of the year so far. Despite the constant spring gales and subsequent flying hair, we drove around […]
Jeju Island; what an idyllic location for a pre wedding shoot. Rolling mountains, vast oceans, clear blue skies. Certainly some of Korea’s most beautiful landscapes. Sook was also notably excited about the prospect. She contacted me a year out to book this shoot. Sook and Maui, being fans of natural scenery, were keen to include a lot of Jeju Island’s picturesque landscapes in their frames. We set to work planning an afternoon on Udo, a small island off the Seongsan […]
Welcome to the third blog in my Year in Review series for 2023. This section takes us through the dramatic weather of summer and into the calmer month of September when autumn starts to show its hand. Despite the heat, summer offers beautiful greens that we don’t get at any other time of year and the beginning of autumn can be equally as beautiful as when all the leaves change (but it lasts a lot longer!). July – Family, […]
